My Strength Does Not Allow Me to Low-key

Brothers, I have opened a new book again: Restarting my life: I can call myself ten years ago. Brothers help to collect and recommend a few!

Xiao Feng really didn't expect this Li Xingkai to actually guess what he was thinking.

In fact, the Rico family was destroyed before, and he robbed so many assets, but it didn't make him feel too happy.

What really made him happy was the acceptance of the two ports and docks, as well as warehouses, in the hands of the Hernandez family.

Previously, the Hernandez family controlled these docks, which were naturally used for flour trafficking in the United States, but after Xiao Feng took over, he no longer planned to do such a business.

At first his idea was to build a two-ocean railway, but that was just an idea.

But when he later learned that the Panama Canal was a toll standard, his idea of ​​building a railroad here grew stronger.

The toll of passing a ship can easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Is this Nima clearly robbing?

Of course, if there is no American backing, the Panamanian government would not dare to be so dark.

Don't look at the fact that the United States claims to have exchanged the Panama Canal with the Panama government, but who does not know that the Panama government is actually a puppet of the United States.

The Panama Canal is still under the control of the Canal Management Committee.

The Panama Canal was originally built by the legendary American banking tycoon JP Morgan, who raised $40 million and employed 80,000 laborers.

In those days, $40 million was almost equivalent to $40 billion today.

Of course, the United States also grabbed enough interests on this canal, from 1914 when the canal was completed to 65 years in 1974 of the last century.

The canal has always been in the hands of the Americans, and was handed over to the Yunhe Management Committee jointly established by the United States and Panama in 1974, but in fact, the Americans have the final say.

Later, Norie came to power in 1983. After this old man came to power, his attitude towards the United States has not been very friendly. He once agitated the domestic people and wanted to take back the Panama Canal.

This has touched the American people's scales. As a result, in 1989, the local government of the United States actually imposed a drug trafficking charge on the president and launched an invasion directly.

The president was captured and the Panamanian regime was overthrown.

In this way, the Americans once again firmly controlled the Panama Canal, and it was not until 1999 that they signed an agreement with the Panama government to transfer the management of the canal back to Panama.

But in fact, the major shareholders behind Panama's existing canal management company are still Americans.

Otherwise, do you think that the Panama Canal has the courage to charge hundreds of thousands of dollars in river crossing fees?

A standard 10,000-container cargo ship basically starts at $780,000 for one pass through the canal, while in the Suez Canal, the price for one pass is at least a hundred thousand dollars cheaper than the Panama Canal.

This is the main reason why many domestic cargo ships prefer to go around the Suez Canal rather than the Panama Canal when returning from South America in the Atlantic Ocean.

Moreover, the Panama Canal is still in the hands of the Americans, and it is very easy to be affected by political factors.

In particular, what Xiao Feng intends to do in the future is Venezuela's oil business, and now Venezuela is still on the US sanctions list.

To transport oil through the Panama Canal, it is estimated that the ships of the Maoxiong country dare to sway, and the Panamanians dare not make things difficult.

If it is his own ship, I am afraid that it will inevitably be engaged by the Americans.

In the end, after thinking about it, it is the most cost-effective to build a railway.

However, Xiao Feng only had a preliminary idea for the railway construction plan from Appartado to Jurado Port. If this plan is really implemented, there are still many joints that need to be opened up.

These two ports, located in the provinces of Córdoba and Chocó in Colombia, want to build a railway together with these two ports, they must have the consent of the local political circles, otherwise the plan will be difficult to start.

The other is the Columbia Western Railway Company, which is the only railway company in Colombia, and the railways in this country are very unique.

It has been hundreds of years since the founding of the country, but the railway mileage is pitiful, that is, from the port of the Caribbean Sea, it has been extending inland, passing through Medellin, Bogota and other cities.

The railway network of the whole country is a slender oval, which does not radiate much to other areas within the country.

The railway company was state-owned at first, and it fell into the hands of the Jurado family after the state implemented privatization in the 1970s.

But later it changed hands several times and became a joint-stock company with many shareholders.

In the past ten years, the company's operating conditions have been good or bad. Now Li Xingkai has acquired the company and has become the company's major shareholder.

And I also know the members of the two provinces, so it seems that this guy is really good at it!

Xiao Feng looked at Li Xingkai with a smile, and Li Xingkai also looked at Xiao Feng with a smile.

"I have to admit, you're a real talent. Well, let's talk about it, how on earth did you know I wanted to build a railroad between these two ports?"

Xiao Feng was very curious about this.

Li Xingkai pointed to his head: "Of course it's observation!"

"I have been collecting information about you before, but from the information I have collected, you are a businessman doing legitimate business, until when you were self-helping Chen's house in the Copper Country, there were suddenly many Russians around you. And now in South America, which country has the most Russians? Of course it’s Venezuela!”

I have to say that this guy's analysis of things is really clear.

"I hate to understand the situation on the Venezuelan side. They are so poor that they can't help themselves. What do they use to pay the wages of those people in Mao Xiong? There is only oil, but the quality of their oil is not high, and Mao Xiong is also a country that does not lack oil. , so even after the bears get the oil, they will definitely find a way to deal with it, considering the principle of proximity, the only friend who can help them deal with the oil is you."

Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly after listening to Li Xingkai's analysis.

"Since you've already guessed this, why don't you report it to the Americans?"

The power of the Americans in South America is very strong. They are now sanctioning Venezuela. If Li Xingkai reports like them, Xiao Feng is quietly doing business with Venezuelan oil.

Then it will definitely attract sanctions from the United States. Even if Xiao Feng does not directly do business with the Venezuelans, it will not work. The long-arm jurisdiction of the Americans is so overbearing.

But Li Xingkai shook his head after hearing this: "Who am I? I was originally on the blacklist of the Americans! Besides, why should I report like the Americans? I wish more people would dig the corners of the Americans! "

"Oh? Listening to your tone, you seem to be very dissatisfied with the Americans?"

"Haha, indeed, I've been dissatisfied with them for a day or two. If you have a mother who died at the hands of the American police, and the last police officer was only given a light sentence, you must be dissatisfied too. If you are on top When you were in middle school, you were always the target of bullying, and you would be dissatisfied with the United States!"

Looking at Li Xingkai's twisted face, Xiao Feng knew that this must have touched some unbearable memories of this guy.

I originally thought that this guy grew up in the United States, and he would have an overwhelming affection for the United States, but I didn't expect him to have such an unbearable past in the United States.

This also explains why he does not report himself like those in the United States.

"Then let me ask another question. I see that you seem to have no objection to cooperating with me. I would like to know why?"

"Why? I don't cooperate with you, will you let me go?"

Xiao Feng shook his head with a smile, and Li Xingkai shrugged: "Isn't that okay? Besides, I really don't like Li Fei and those guys, because they were the two brothers who bullied me since I was a child. "

After speaking, Li Xingkai's face became serious again. It seems that even if he and Li Fei are cousins, they are not on the right track!

"Well, what would you do if you were to be in charge of the construction of this railway?"

"First of all, I will let people arrange for the people of these two places to go to parade..."

"Forehead?"

Xiao Feng was stunned when he heard it, and Li Xingkai shrugged: "You know, the employment situation in these two places has not been very good, and many people have no jobs. Now it's not so easy to go fishing, so many people are in Hungry."

Xiao Feng still knows about this, so labor in these two places is very cheap.

"Then I will contact the two councillors in the name of the railway company. On the railway company's side, I will arrange to propose a railway construction plan, buy land, hire workers, and the councillor will speed up the approval of the project. At most three months, this matter can be make it."

It seems that Li Xingkai is very confident in this matter, Xiao Feng frowned, he knows the virtues of the Colombian government, and its efficiency is extremely low.

It can even be said that success is not enough and failure is more than failure. If you want to do something, before you start, you will jump out of a bunch of rhetoric opponents and argue with you every day.

As for the construction of the two-ocean railway, there will definitely be many pro-US congressmen who will oppose it, but in Li Xingkai's view, it seems that this is not a difficult task.

At this time, Li Xingkai was like a roundworm in Xiao Feng's stomach. Although he didn't say anything, Li Xingkai had already guessed what he was worried about.

"Haha, those congressmen and officials, you don't have to worry too much, because many of them are my clients. Even if they are not my clients, I have a way to catch their pigtails."

It is so! Xiao Feng smiled and nodded.

"Well, it seems that I really can't find a reason to kill you. Your wonderful performance has convinced me. My Liangyang Railway Company just happens to be short of a general manager."

Xiao Feng smiled and extended his hand to Li Xingkai, while Li Xingkai nodded with a smile.

"Actually, I'm not interested in the position of general manager of the railway company, and you didn't ask me what I wanted, did you?"

"Huh? Do you mean salary?"

This guy is really bold, but Xiao Feng likes this guy's straightforwardness.
