The key to the Somalia company's smooth trade with Tsarist Russia is that it has a strong business partner. Marquis Andrei Grushamov, Deputy Minister of the Tsarist Ministry of Finance, was his family very powerful in the upper class of Tsarist Russia. Iger Smolnikov, deputy general manager of Somalia, was his brother-in-law.

The Somali company was able to get along with this line because Li Siyuan, Duke of Shangri-La, sent a telegram to Marquis Andrei Grushamov, which led to the incident.

This was originally a benefit from the three parties. The Somali Company and Marquis Drey Grushamov made a fortune. His Highness was also delighted to see that Japan and Russia fought to the death on the battlefield. The battle was more bloody, cruel, and more loss than in history.

The only one who suffers... I'm afraid the only one in Fusang is the one in Fusang.

Li Siyuan took action to help Tsarist Russia, but based on a simple wish and did not expect any economic returns.

He is the crown prince of a country, rich in all over the world, and his huge empire will be inherited in the future. How can he respect merely Adu?

"Great Your Highness, in order to express your infinite respect for Your Highness, our Somalia Company has studied the board of directors and plans to donate three 3,200-ton "Cold Wind" class destroyers in the next five years to show their concern for the construction of the Royal Navy." Li Yong is worthy of being a big business person with great courage.

Your Highness will not accept the money gift from the Somali company, but as the helmsman of the Somali company, Li Yong is in good work and does everything. He does not forget the well digger when he draws water. He is a heavyweight donation.

Three large ocean destroyers are worth more than 2 million gold oceans. They are donated one after another within five years, and will be allocated 400,000 gold oceans a year, which is a big donation.

Sure enough

Even the royal children like Li Siyuan who are used to big scenes were moved by it. After pondering for a moment, they replied with a smile. "Sir Li is intent. I will arrange to report this matter to the Ministry of Navy as soon as possible. At that time, a grand donation ceremony will be held to make a name for the Somalia company's righteous deeds all over the world, and to set an example to call on more people in society to care about the construction of the Royal Navy. Only with a country can there be a family! Only when the empire is strong can we better protect citizens' property and maintain a good business environment."

"Thank you for your kindness. The Somali company is ashamed of being responsible." Li Yong said in fear and fear.

Li Siyuan waved his hand and said, "Haha... this is a matter that should be done, so you don't have to refuse."

"Since that's the case, it's better to obey your orders than respect. Then we will all follow your arrangements." Li Yong replied.

The Viscount Li Yong of Humen was so well-behaved that Li Siyuan, the Duke of Shangri-La, was in a good mood. He turned his face and saw Li Xiaozu sitting, and asked, "Brother Xiaozu, are you still in the office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Report to Your Highness, Xiaozu has stepped down from the Office of the Internal Affairs Office. At the invitation of the Duke of Wright, he is currently the mayor of Zhonghai City and contributes his efforts to the construction of Wright Island. If there are any shortcomings, please give me more advice."

"Well, I built Suwen Leight Island well, you're willing."

"I dare not be praised by Your Highness. Zhonghai City is inseparable from Duke Wright's work. We have just done some work to fill in the gaps, which makes Your Highness laugh." Li Xiaozu answered with a respectful expression.

Leyte is located in the central part of the Visayas, and its main cities include Tacloban, Maasin and Ormok.

Tacloban was the island capital during the Spanish colonial period. It has a good geographical location, beautiful environment, and a certain foundation for urban construction, so it was set up as a key construction city and renamed it "Zhonghai City".

Li Xiaozu is a close minister around Duke Wright and a leader among the younger generation of imperial nobles. In recent years, he has followed Duke Wright to build the Duke's territory with full efforts and achieved remarkable achievements.

Compared with the Duke of Palawan territory, the construction of towns on the island of Ryte is even better, especially Zhonghai City is known as the "star of emerging cities". It is famous for its beautiful environment such as blue sea, silver sand, white walls and red tiles.

Considering the limited resources, Li Xiaozu suggested that the construction of Leyte Island adopt the strategy of "putting Zhonghai City as the top priority and driving Ma Axin and Olmok to fly together" to tilt more than 80% of the resources towards Zhonghai City, and achieve dazzling achievements.

More than three years

Zhonghai City has rapidly risen into a third-tier city with a population of more than 270,000, and has developed an economic structure dominated by AC motor manufacturing, AC power transmission and transformation equipment, sulfur minerals and offshore fishing industries. It has a cement factory, more than a dozen brick factories, quarries, timber factories and other building materials enterprises, and three construction companies have formed independent construction capabilities.

More than 90% of the island of Leyte are Chinese, forming a social structure centered on Zhonghai City. Zhonghai City has a population of more than 270,000, Ma'sin Town has a population of 24,000, and Ormok's population of more than 9,000. In addition, the population of 10,000 in several other townships is barely nodding, with a total population of 318,000.

The indigenous population on the island mainly works in sulfur mines and quarries. Leight Island has rich sulfur mine resources and exports more than 1.5 to 1.7 million gold-ocean minerals to the empire every year, which is a major source of income.

The most important thing is to introduce the alternating power transmission and transformation equipment production base of Tesla Technology Company, thus creating more than 7,700 high-value jobs, and developing an alternating motor production chain with more than a dozen companies of large and small, specializing in the production of various models of alternating motor supporting products.

besides

Relying on the rich fishing resources of the Philippine Islands, Zhonghai City has developed a marine fishing industry. Thousands of relevant practitioners not only meet their own needs, but also has a certain number of exports. It is a promising industry.

As the head of a city, Li Xiaozu made unignorable contributions from using preferential tax policies to attract Tesla Technology’s production base, to developing offshore fishing, promoting Ryte Island’s agricultural and animal husbandry production, fruit and vegetable production, and creating a good business environment. Therefore, he entered the sight of senior politicians in the empire.

The top aristocratic circle was not big at all. Li Siyuan, Duke of Shangri-La, knew of him and said with great appreciation. "You are there by my second brother, and he will do it with twice the result. I am very interested in seeing how many years can Zhonghai City develop like?"

"The mere achievements are not worth mentioning, which makes Your Highness laugh." Li Xiaozu raised his hand to bow and replied seriously. "To be honest, due to geographical and resource limitations, Zhonghai City's current development has entered a bottleneck period. How to further break through the bottleneck period is a big problem that we are suffering from."

"Oh, let's talk..."

"It's such a highness. Zhonghai City's original industrial foundation is blank. The only power transmission and transformation equipment manufacturing industry is not enough to support the size of a larger city. Weichen initially planned to use the influence of the Duchess of Wright in Germany to attract some German machine tool manufacturing companies to settle on Rythe Island. This is an emerging industry guided by imperial policies and should have great potential."

"Well, the idea is very good. If you introduce a group of high-quality Eagle School graduates to build the racks of machine tool manufacturing companies, the key is to introduce German machine tool manufacturing companies. Do you have any ideas now?"

"Report to Your Highness, a group of German businessmen will come to inspect the situation in the near future. The only flaw of Leight Island is that it is too far from Australia, which is also what we are worried about."

"Haha... this is not a problem." Li Siyuan chuckled and said in a temptation. "You cannot only focus on the Australian local market, but should see the superiority of the geographical location of Rytt. Thanks to the imperial trade policy, machine tool products produced on Rytt can enter the Australian local market without barriers, which is a major advantage.

Secondly, Leight Island is located in the center of the Luzon Islands, at the intersection of the South China Sea, not far from the Strait of Malacca.

In the future, the market can radiate north to the Far East, west to the French Indochina Peninsula colonies, British Straits Governor's Office, and south to the Dutch East Indies Governor's Office. The distance is not far, and the market prospects are broader.

The Luzon Islands are a must-pass place for the Western Pacific to North America route. Compared with the local area of ​​Australia, it is actually more advantageous.

For these German businessmen, you just need to put out the world map, show your sincerity to attract investment, show preferential policies, and provide conditions that can provide high-quality employees. I believe they will definitely make the right choice.

Don't forget that the Duchess of Wright was born in the Bavarian king family, and these German merchants knew what to do as long as they weren't stupid."

Your Highness's words were like seeing the sun, which made Li Xiaozu immediately open. He stood up solemnly and bowed to the ground with his fists in his hands. "Thank you for waking up the dreamer with your words. It's ridiculous that we hold so many advantages without knowing it. We are really ashamed."

"It's just a trivial matter, don't worry about it." Li Siyuan waved his hand indifferently and said, "You are a close minister of Duke Wright. You have ideas, motivation and ability. This is also his blessing. To build the island of Rytter better, the imperial concubine will bear your love. I will give you another trick. The German community in the empire has always been close to Duke Wright. It's a pity not to use such a great advantage, do you understand?"

"I am stupid, I really want to ride a horse and look for a horse!"

"Hahaha... This metaphor is very vivid. If the people under my elder brother have half of your hard work, they will not be able to build Palawan Island in a mess. It is just now that the vassal state is right in front of him. It is really heartwarming!"

When the topic talks about the fact that adult princes were in vassal states, it was difficult for Li Yong, Li Xiaozu and others to answer, and they just laughed aside.

Today, the emperor has given more money to the princes and allocated special funds every year to build the Duke's territories. By the end of this year, all adult princes will be granted one after another, and will not be allowed to stay in Australia for a long time.

Among these people

The plan included Li Siyuan, the eldest prince Palawan Duke, Li Sihan, the second prince Wright Duke, Li Sirui, the fourth prince Beibao Duke, Li Sipo, the fifth prince Sulu Duke, Li Sixi, the sixth prince Basiland Duke, Li Sixuan, the seventh prince Hawaii Duke, and other six dukes all took the vassal.

Since you are an adult, each prince will give you a duke's fiefdom to build it by himself. The royal family's internal affairs department will support you for five years to help build the duke's territory. The rest depends on the princes to show their skills.

If you have the ability to eat meat, if you don’t have the ability to drink soup, if you don’t have the ability, go and drink the northwest wind.

Such strong support cannot be self-sufficient, so it will be a waste in the future. It will be better for him to die for himself, and it will not be a pity at all.
