In 1513 AD, the Spanish Balboa climbed to the central continent of America from the Atlantic Ocean. When he was looking at the terrain on a mountain, he suddenly saw the Pacific Ocean in his glasses. He immediately realized that this place was of geographical significance. He traveled all night and came to the Pacific Ocean. He chose a fishing village as his foothold and built some houses one after another. He followed the name of local Indians and called this place "Panama", which means "fishing village", which is the predecessor of Panama City.

After Morgan burned Panama City to ruins, the Spanish rebuilt the current Panama City about eight kilometers west of the ruins of the ancient city. Although the current Panama City is quite large, geographically speaking, the conditions of the new city are not better than those of the ancient city. On the other side of the ancient city, there is currently a natural harbor with excellent conditions. As long as the previous ruins are slightly repaired, the ancient city will surely be revitalized.

Panama means "land of butterflies" in Indian language. Part of the reason why the name "Panama" is used is because there are groups of flying colorful butterflies, but these butterflies have gradually disappeared with the fire lit by Morgan. However, if they are painstakingly managed, they may not be able to reproduce the grand occasion of the past.

Although there is a deep conflict with the Panama natives, the Canal Company really depends on these poor Panama natives when it really starts a new Panama City.

Since August, the Canal Company has begun to recruit workers in Panama and Cologne. The Panama Company, which has obtained the supervision of Panama City, is naturally the Panama Company.

"When you come to work in the Panama Canal Company, everyone can enjoy free lunch and free medical care. The company also provides free clothing. There are two days off every month. If you don't work for a month, workers can get $10. The Panama government provides guarantees for this to ensure that your salary will not be deducted. As long as you work hard, you can get everything you want in the Panama Canal Company. Get up and move quickly. The opportunity is rare-" Panama's staff are promoting the streets and alleys of Panama. These people are also Panama natives.

No nation lacks scum, especially in economically underdeveloped areas, life cannot be guaranteed, and those persistence in character seems particularly pale. Therefore, although a bloody incident happened not long ago, there are still many Panamanians willing to serve Panama and accept the work provided by Panama.

Ten dollars is already a considerable income for Panama natives. These days, the annual per capita income of the Panama Isthmus is about ten dollars. Thankfully, an adult who works hard every day and gets three or five dollars a month.

So there are still many people who come to register. Within just one week, Panama recruited 5,000 employees to prepare to start the cleaning of the old city ruins.

"The cleanup work must be completed within half a month, and then the construction of airports and ports will begin. In principle, the construction materials must be purchased from China, but if a suitable replacement product can be found in the Panama region, we don't mind leaving the opportunity to the Pananana people. But the first thing to be sure is that the raw materials must meet our requirements and be cheap at the same time. If these two points can meet our requirements, then I think this can provide some impetus for the economy of the Panama region." When communicating with Eddie Housman, Robert Kroning still habitually gave benefits first, and then talked about other things.

Regarding construction raw materials, of course, it is more convenient to buy them directly from the United States. After all, there is a mature raw material supply chain in the United States, and it is reliable in terms of quality.

However, considering the transportation costs, it is also good to buy locally from Panama. Although some other problems may arise, the cost should be significantly reduced. After all, those who are eligible to obtain raw materials in Panama basically do not have to pay any cost. Therefore, there are many tricks in this price, and Robert Kronin is still more inclined to buy locally from Panama.

"Don't worry, I promise that the local Panama raw materials can meet all your requirements. I have seen your raw materials list, such as stone. The stone produced locally in Panama is not inferior to stone produced in the United States, and the price will be much cheaper. There are also wood and houses built with maple wood are definitely not as good as red sandalwood, and there will be discounts at the same price, so I can't think of a reason for choosing American raw materials under the same conditions. We should benefit and benefit from Panama." Eddie Housman really had an idea on this matter and was about to leave all these orders in Panama.

Now Panama has basically no industrial foundation and is a standard raw material producer. Panama has advantages in this regard. For example, the quality of local granite in Panama is not inferior to marble, and it is most suitable for use as a building material.

For example, Panama's local red sandalwood, this precious wood called "balm dal", is produced from the deserted pristine forests of South America. This wood is hard, tough and fragrant, stable in wood, beautiful patterns, corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, and is known as the king of wood. Using this wood to build a house is simply a waste. This should have been a special wood for high-end furniture.

Eddie Housman has completely surrendered since taking Ford Benjamin's money. Rather than being the mayor of Panama, the Canal Company's local spokesperson in Panama. The Canal Company's purchase of building materials from Panama is also beneficial to Eddie Housman, not just taxes. Eddie Housman is ready to set up a building materials company for his family to provide various building materials for the Canal Company.

Considering Eddie Housman's power in the Isthmus of Panama, Eddie Housman was able to obtain various building materials at a near-free price, so the cost was naturally extremely low. Anyway, you would make as much money as you sell.

"It's best if this is the case, oh - our company now provides financial services to enterprises. If there is a need for this, please don't be polite. Canal Company is your eternal friend." Robert Croning understands the real needs of people like Eddie Housman, so almost every sentence can be said to the point.

Although Eddie Housman's family can obtain various raw materials at a price that is almost free, selling the raw materials to the Canal Company will still incur a certain fee. When Panama Company controls the Panama City tax system, these transactions will incur a certain tax cost. Robert Croning's meaning is very obvious. Canal Company's financial personnel can help Eddie Housman reduce some tax costs, which is the most considerate.

Speaking of tax avoidance, although this is an illegal act at this time, it will not be despised. On the contrary, reasonable and legal tax avoidance is a wise act that is talked about even in the 21st century, making it as if some people do not need to bear social costs when engaging in social business activities.

Before coming to Panama, Robert Cronin's job was a lawyer and an accountant, both of which helped employers to avoid taxes reasonably and legally. Therefore, Robert Cronin was an expert in this regard, and even the experienced US tax system could deal with it. It was simply easy to deal with the Panama tax department at this time.

Even the Panama tax system is the same in the control of Panama. In Robert Croning's consciousness, a group of mercenaries can understand what taxes it is, probably just like asking Robert Croning to go to war, it is completely a bad word.

"Of course, you are right, we will always be friends." Eddie Housman has already realized the benefits of cooperating with the Canal Company. If you continue to cooperate for a few years, Eddie Housman doesn't have to worry about being scolded in the future. At worst, you can immigrate to the United States and rely on the money you earned over the years and enough to make Eddie Housman free and comfortable for the rest of your life.

Speaking of the upper class in New York, Eddie Housman has been envious of it for a long time.

It is really terrible to lose a bottom line. Within just three days, a Housmann company that specializes in providing raw materials to the canal company was established. The shareholders include Eddie Housmann and six members of Panama City. On the day of the establishment of Housmann company, it obtained the right to operate the timber and stone of Panama. It was also a nearly monopoly operating right. This news only spreads on a small scale. As for ordinary people in Panama, they were not even aware of it.

The price of Hausmann to the Canal Company is indeed very favorable. One cubic meter of maple is about $0.5 in the United States. With the shipping fee, it costs about $1 dollar to go to the Isthmus of Panama. At Hausmann, such a cubic meter of red sandalwood is only $0.2, which also provides the Canal Company with a new business. Even if these red sandalwood are transported back to the United States, the Canal Company can make a lot of money.

Of course, there is a reason why the price is so low. Because of Robert Croning's operations, the transactions between Housman and Canal do not require tax payments at all, and the Housman is also the only business partner of Housman. So in this way, no matter how much money Housman makes, it is actually its own, so the price can naturally be suppressed.

In early August, the reconstruction plan for the ancient city officially began, and the first thing to be carried out is the construction of the airport.

In fact, the airport standards in this era are very low. Thanks to the light weight of the aircraft, the requirements for runways are not high. The aircraft produced by Boston Airlines can even take off and land on grass, so the requirements for airports are very simple. As long as the runway is flat and there are no obvious potholes.

But for Boston Airlines and Canal Company, this airport is very important. After all, it is the world's first real airport and is very symbolic. Whether it is Boston Airlines or Canal Company, they are not willing to let it go, so the standard of the airport is still very high, especially the terminal building, which is similar to the scale of the main building of the Panama Railway Station.

Thousands of workers started working together, and the efficiency was terrible. It took only one morning to repair the runway.

The reason why the efficiency is so high is inseparable from the hard cooperation of the "supervisors".

The supervisor hired by Panama Company was the former police officers in Panama City. Because of the strength of Panama Company, the Panama government had to entrust Panama City's police system to Panama Company for supervision. On the first day of Panama Company taking over police, all of these police officers were dismissed. So before coming to Panama Company to serve as supervisors, these police officers were unemployed.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Once many staff members in the system leave the "system" environment, they will become like babies and cannot even take care of themselves. For example, these policemen in Panama City, regardless of how glorious they are when they are policemen, how many people will be brothers to them. Once they take off their clothes, I'm sorry, let alone brothers, it's hard to find a meal to eat, and it's good not to put down the wrong thing.

Only by leaving the system environment can we realize the preciousness of the system. Therefore, these supervisors now cherish this job opportunity and are very serious when working. As long as they find that workers are lazy and do not need formal employees of Panama Company to come forward, these supervisors will punish that guy as quickly as possible.

Adhering to the tradition of the Panama City Police Department, the most common method of punishment is torture. When executing, you must first tie the person to a pillar and then use a whip dipped in salt water. Generally speaking, as long as any two whips are in the same place, the skin will be broken immediately.

In order to achieve sufficient results, all whippings are carried out publicly and nearby workers are required to watch. Therefore, in the first half hour of the start of work, a total of eleven workers were whipped, and then no workers dared to be lazy in the next four hours.

At noon, Panama provided work meals for workers. Compared with the formal workers of Panama, this work meal was a bit simple, with only rice and beef stewed with potatoes, and the beef was pitifully small. The only comforting thing is that the work meals provided on the construction site are not limited in quantity, as long as they are not wasted, they would eat as much as they want.

Despite this, the workers are happy enough. Perhaps in the eyes of the formal employees of Panama, the food of military horses and military dogs in the company is better than this, but compared with the recipes of ordinary Panamanians, it is already very valuable to have an unlimited amount.
