Nanhua in August is about to enter spring... Actually, the winter in Nanhua is not cold either.
It was at this time that Jonathan, the special envoy of Argentina, came to Nanhua. He came by train - Nanhua's train station on the grassland was less than 50 kilometers away from the nearest border trench.
If it weren't for the fact that they didn't want to irritate Argentina too much, maybe the railway would have been built to the border trench area.
However, this so-called restraint actually has another unknown purpose.
However, the outside world is obviously unable to pay attention to that idea. Even in the eyes of Argentines, Nanhua's conservatism is actually a sign of weakness.
conspiracy?
With the arrogance they had long been accustomed to after arriving in the New World, it was impossible to understand the deep meaning behind it.
"Chinese people..."
Through the carriage window, Jonathan whispered.
"It's really hard to imagine that Chinese people would actually become the masters of this land."
"It's really hard to imagine!"
Maradona said on the sidelines that as Argentina's representative in South China, he has witnessed the changes here in the past few years.
"What's even harder to imagine is that at first we thought that America Company was just using cheap Chinese labor, but who would have thought that we were wrong from the beginning. The chairman of America Company is Chinese. As for the board of directors,
It’s just a pretense!”
A pretense!
Who would have thought that the "American Company Board of Directors" that gathered the down-and-out classes in Buenos Aires was just a cover. In fact, the board of directors was established from the very beginning to cover up the public. This may be the most successful scam——
Argentines believe that Zhu Xianhai is a "puppet" introduced by Elizabeth and others.
But what is unexpected is that from beginning to end, the real "puppet" or cover is just the board of directors, and even the board of directors is fictitious.
Even if all this is discovered now, what can we do?
"So what can this do? The number of Chinese immigrants in South China, including Araucania and Chile, has exceeded four million. God can testify that we only have a population of 1.5 million, but we have been here for several years.
Within a hundred years, if we don’t find a way to stop this, soon, this place will be dyed yellow by the Chinese!”
Jonathan's brows furrowed. This was exactly the purpose of his coming here - to reach an agreement with Nanhua.
"But, can we stop this?"
Maradona said.
"You don't understand the Chinese. They are extremely obsessed with land. They took advantage of our being trapped in the Paraguay War to expand unscrupulously in the Pampas. It is simply impossible to stop them now. Besides, they also have France.
In the past two years, they have used French capital to build more than 5,000 kilometers of railways. Under these circumstances, they will never be able to withdraw from the Pampas."
When mentioning all this, Maradona felt depressed. When Nanhua expanded on the grassland and when they built the railway, he reported to Buenos Aires many times to be wary of Nanhua's expansion in the grassland.
expansion in the world, but for Buenos Aires, they were more willing to see South China restrain the Mapuche people. After all, at that time, Argentina’s army Paraguay. But who would have thought that the Mapuche people would actually surrender in the end.
The grassland was given to Nanhua.
"If we could have been earlier..."
"At that time, we needed them to restrain the Mapuche people from attacking settlements, but who would have thought that they would actually occupy most of the grassland through the railway..."
Jonathan said a little helplessly.
"And this is also the purpose of my coming here this time."
…
Half an hour later, in front of the American Company headquarters building, when Jonathan got off the carriage, Zhu Shihao, who was sitting in the front car, got out of the car and greeted him. As the company's foreign affairs minister, he was in charge of this negotiation.
, he had been naturalized in Nanhua as early as six years ago. Like the countess, he was a former regime dignitary who was suppressed by Urquiza, and he was also a member of the fictitious board of directors.
In fact, the seven board members, including the countess, are now naturalized in Nanhua and have prominent positions. Although the board of directors is a cover, they did give the company a lot of help during its establishment.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Jonana couldn't help but look up at the tall building, surprised by how tall it was.
"Mr. Special Envoy, this is the headquarters building of Amelia Company. It is 51 meters high and has a total of twelve floors."
Jonathan's surprise made Zhu Shihao say proudly,
"It used to be the tallest building in Nanhua. Now there is an 18-storey skyscraper in Nanhua, but it will soon be surpassed. I heard that Nanhua Architecture has designed a 25-storey building. It is likely to exceed one.
One hundred meters..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Shihao immediately felt that what he said was inappropriate: "Maybe Jonathan will think that I am showing off by saying this!"
So I added:
"Of course, no matter how tall the tall building is, it is just a building."
It’s also science!
Zhu Shihao added in his heart. But Jonathan was surprised in his heart at Nanhua's wealth!
Afterwards, Zhu Shihao accompanied Jonathan into the lobby, and then got on the elevator. As the elevator went up, they stood there in silence. At this moment, the moods of both parties were completely different. Zhu Shihao seemed very calm, but Jonathan
But my mood is a bit complicated - everything shown in this city is so modern and so sci-fi.
Is this Nan Hua?
Zhu Shihao stopped in front of the conference room leading to the twelfth floor.
"You will meet with the chairman in the afternoon, Mr. Special Envoy,"
Even if it's just a cover, America is still a real company, he added.
"If you have no objections, we can discuss some issues in the preliminary stage..."
"certainly."
Jonathan nodded and said.
"Mr. Minister, I think we need to discuss some issues and at least reach some consensus first."
After entering the conference room, he toasted the other party with a cigar. Then Zhu Shihao took a cigar and started smoking it. He blew out the smoke rings and waved his hands politely a few times to prevent the smoke from blowing in front of the guests. Then Zhu Shihao
It’s easy to open your mouth and say with a smile:
"First of all, I would like to welcome Mr. Special Envoy. Your arrival shows that on some issues, our goals are the same - for peace!"
He emphasized the word "peace" when he said it.
"Of course, peace is also the reason why Mr. President sent me to South China!"
Jonathan said with a smile.
"We all know that there have been some unpleasantness between us in the past period of time, but I believe that Mr. Chairman and the board of directors of American Company will make rational choices. First of all, the interests of the country and the company
Development has made us all look to other places, but we all know that Argentina developed this land earlier than the company, and the company has already embarked on this path. Both of us need land to expand our survival.
space.,"
He leaned slightly closer to the person he was talking to and said, followed by a long pause.
"So, we have to reach a consensus on some issues, otherwise..."
