Chapter 804 Proposal for the merger of cities
Local Australian
"Good boy, so sharp!"
Li Yong held the trans-ocean telegram in his hand and felt really happy, thinking that even if he was in South Africa, he would not have done better.
Li Yong also checked the details of this young man named Churchill in the empire, and he was really shocked to see it.
It should be noted that among the grievances of the top British wealthy families, it was known that it was not a trivial matter that it was published in the newspaper. The Prince of Wales was so angry that he wanted to duel with Lord Randolph, which caused an uproar.
The benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees the wisdom.
What happened later further verified his conjecture. What does it mean to get the Farmer Gold Mine successfully?
It means that this young man named Churchill is extremely powerful, and he can allow the Duke of Marbarrow to come forward to put pressure on him, and can give face to the British Expeditionary Force and the Cape government's top leaders. He is extremely terrified to think about it carefully.
He easily got the Boer hotel deed from the local colonial government of Johannesburg. This high-end European hotel paved with African marble granite, with a construction area of 110,000 square feet, and only cost more than 12,000 pounds, just like a free pick.
It is a blessing for the family to find such a big and thick-legged hug!
Letting Li Jianyang leave South Africa means Li Yong. One of the South African front-line soldiers are in danger of fighting. Since they have already had enough qualifications, it is better not to get involved too deeply. It is not cost-effective to pay for their lives.
Secondly, Li Jianyang worshipped this British brother Qi, and he had to hold on to his big and thick legs.
So after returning to Humen, Li Jianyang had already arranged to learn the entire set of British court etiquette, European modern history, etc., first make up for it, and then go to London to give Churchill a big surprise.
The reason is very simple, so of course I am studying abroad!
Brother Qi must walk around often, otherwise, the deepest feelings will fade.
Now young Churchill has no money or power, but he has a complex and noble identity and a strong upward heart, which is a good opportunity for investment.
The Viscount Humen family is neither short of money nor people. If they have the opportunity to get an extra noble title, who would think it would be too much?
According to the arrangement
Li Jianyang will enter the artillery class of the Royal Military University of Sanhurst for systematic study and standardize the previous wild combat methods.
Li Yong was full of knowledge. Compared with the cavalry and infantry subjects, learning artillery classes is more promising. The British have been playing artillery for more than 200 years, with a profound background and can learn real skills.
The Royal Military University of Sanhurst is a place where British aristocrats gather. Entering such a high-level Royal Military Academy requires a noble recommender. This makes Brother Chelsch Churchill find a way, which is easy.
Li Yong had a wishful thinking in his heart and was in a very good mood. He personally drafted a trans-ocean telegram for his servants to send it, and then led a group of people to prepare to set off.
They will head to Manila and then turn to the northern Legaspi area.
Things were basically done on the empire's land survey documents, land deeds, deeds, taxes and fees were sorted out. I ordered 350 small four-wheel tractors, 50 high-power "Iron Niu" brand tractors, 50 "Dongfanghong" brand crawler tractors, 8,000 hoes, 12,000 shovels, 5,000 thousand iron rakes, 500 tents, 3,000 tons of rice, 400 tons of flour, 2,000 tons of barbed wire and other hundreds of other land reclamation supplies, and filled 7 3,500 tons of cargo ships, and were about to go to the Port of Manila with them.
Advance personnel in the Port of Manila have recruited more than 7,800 Chinese immigrants and arrived in the Legazpi area in advance to level the site and establish camping sites to warm up for the subsequent large-scale construction.
In order to develop the Legazpi area, Somalia Company used land deeds as collateral and signed a three-phase continuous loan contract with a syndicate composed of Huitong Bank, Shangri-La Bank, Wells Fargo and Huiyuan Bank, with a total loan amount of 10 million Jinyang.
The first 3 million Jinyang loan has been paid for, which is used to purchase a large amount of colonization materials, purchase machinery, pay for the early recruitment of personnel, establish seedling farms, build bridges and roads, build towns and other expenses.
That's right, it's building a town.
Li Yong has experienced the entire process of developing Xi'an and Humen. He knows that such a large development project must have strong logistical support points. According to the geographical characteristics of the purchased Legaspi area, four central towns are planned to be built.
The Somalia company branch, large seedling farms, tobacco purchasing stations, tobacco production plants, agricultural machinery factories, machinery maintenance stations, oil depots, etc. will all be located in the towns. The banks, police and taxation, telegraph bureaus, commercial department stores, food and catering, etc. that will be settled in the towns, gradually forming a complete urban ecology.
In the future, these four medium-sized towns will radiate to a vast area, build roads and bridges, and plan the scope of large, medium and small plantation sites to make them have the conditions for in-depth development.
Only in this way can we start recruiting hundreds or thousands of small and medium-sized investors from the public and work together to develop this big project.
With a Somali company alone, even if it is covered with iron, how many nails can be made?
As the leader of the project, Somalia Company hired a highly experienced colonization team from the Royal Academy of Administration for this purpose to provide guidance on the whole process planning and construction.
The huge convoy drove out of the Baron's Mansion in a mighty manner, attracting the attention of everyone on the streets.
Although cars are common in the Red River Valley metropolis, such a large convoy still attracted the attention of pedestrians.
The Red River Valley metropolis can be said to be one of the cities with the largest number of cars in the world today. The total number of various vehicles has exceeded 10,000. London, New York, Paris and Berlin, which can reach this milestone, are a little worse.
In the metropolis
Public carriages have been replaced by well-connected urban trams. Cars, trams, rickshaws and bicycles have become the main way for residents to travel. The sound of the "ding-ding-dang" tram and the pleasant ringtone of the bicycle intersect. The roads are full of traffic, interpreting the prosperous and prosperous urban scene.
After entering the new century
The development of the Red River Valley metropolitan area ushered in a new round of outbreaks, according to the Brisbane Courier;
Affected by the Northern War, a new round of immigration has emerged in China. The Red River Valley metropolis, which is famous at home and abroad, is the city that has benefited the most from this round of spontaneous immigration.
As of the end of November 1900, the population of the Red River Valley metropolis soared from 1.786 million in the previous year to 2.0937 million, officially breaking the 2 million population mark, proudly becoming the sixth largest metropolis in the world.
The top rankings are still London with 6.58 million, New York with 5.04 million, Paris with 3.33 million, Berlin with 2.42 million, and Chicago with 2.26 million.
Chicago, Citigroup, has emerged in a sudden force, with a population soaring by 463,100 per year, surpassing Philadelphia to become the second largest city in Citigroup. Philadelphia's annual population has increased by more than 300,000, from 1.75 million in the previous year to 2.052 million, ranking third largest city in Citigroup.
