Chapter 513: VIPs of parliamentarians
It was initially decided to renovate the container terminal at the ports of three coastal cities in New York, Houston and New Orleans. As for the required steel and cement, the joint company can make it, and the technology is not a problem.
No matter how it goes around, as long as it is by sea, the status of the New York Metropolis cannot be circumvented. This is not a matter of whether the slave owner likes or dislikes it. As for New Orleans, as the largest city in the south, it can also integrate the river transport of the Mississippi River and link it with inland water transport to form a domestic transportation network.
Houston joined because resources are nearby, and Houston is the best port for oil exports. This requires a lot of investment and construction. Fortunately, Sheffield, who is a billionaire, still owes a hundred million and has not paid it, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
Up to now, the United Company has not only received all the upfront investment, but also made a large sum of money, in fact, it is possible to repay the money. However, things must always be prioritized. These creditors take the money back in case the investment fails, that is The end of the bloodless return to the slave owner can avoid this danger.
Unless you find Arlington in person, you will prove that these creditors are not in a hurry, and do not need to hurry to repay the money.
There are many advantages in marine transportation: First, the transportation volume is large. Packing the bulk goods to be transported in boxes in advance is convenient for mechanized loading and unloading, which greatly reduces the time for ships to dock at the port and the time for the goods to be stored in the warehouse, speeding up the delivery of goods and reducing transportation costs; There are also more cargoes on ships of the same volume, which increases the transportation volume. The second is to reduce the damage of items. Container loading and unloading can ensure the integrity of the goods during transportation, and can almost completely eliminate the consumption of items, greatly reducing damage and compensation.
The container can be used many times, and can reduce the cost of packing and unpacking, and reduce the freight cost, which is beneficial to customers. 4. Reduce operating expenses and transportation costs. Because the loading and unloading of containers are basically not affected by the bad weather, the non-productive berthing time of the ship is shortened, and due to the high loading and unloading efficiency, the loading and unloading time is shortened. For the shipping company, the navigation rate can be improved. , To reduce the cost of ship transportation, for ports, it can increase the berth passing capacity, thereby increasing throughput,
If there are any difficulties, it is doubtful whether the current transportation means can withstand the emergence of containers, but there is no problem in the port alone, and it is no problem for large loading and unloading machinery to operate the containers.
Times limit the scope of Sheffield ’s activities, and communication with Europe cannot be the same as in the country. Sheffield can see in person at any time and can only communicate by telegram.
Is the largest port in Europe now Hamburg or Kiel? Sheffield couldn't help but be ashamed of her senior German fan's identity, even forgot this basic knowledge, but if you remember correctly, Europe's largest port should already be in the hands of the Germans. The trend of catching up with Germany in Europe has become more apparent, and this is not wrong.
"I still prefer the pure manor life!" Seeing Sheffield's unsightly gaze, Gael, who knew she was justified, smiled awkwardly as soon as she appeared, making excuses for her attitude towards life.
"You are good for Puerto Rico." Sheffield said angrily. "Everything should be enough. Let's talk about it. The Republican Party has a very small word about the tariff reduction bill. I don't know if you have any way."
As I said, I persuaded and persuaded. People did n’t go to my heart at all. Sheffield had no choice but to be polite. He directly explained the current situation and allowed Gail, who claimed to be able to handle ten or eight parliamentarians, to go out in person. .
"On this matter, there is no problem, it is for the benefit of all of us." Gael yawned, "I am their important friend, and the communication between friends is always very smooth. If you do not agree to my terms, let They ca n’t cry, I tell you, you see that Paul is a serious man in Congress, he actually likes black people, he said that black women ’s skin is firm, this pervert specializes in picking little girls to start. ”
Gail shook his head and shook his head. Sheffield had gone away and sighed, "It's a boring person. You are not as good as you used to be. At that time, you can abduct the French nobility back home."
There are two big parties in the country, which is also a good thing in a sense. It saves Gail a lot of time. At the door of Mr. Paul ’s house, Gail sat in the car and complained to himself. As a community where Mr. Paul lives, he still has to pay Shaojin only came in. The money for bribing the community should be reimbursed by the slave owner.
After waiting for a long time to see Paul's car slowly approaching, Gail got off the car, and just a glance made the distinguished parliamentarian who had just finished work suddenly change color. How could he not help who he was.
Gail stood stabbing in front of the courtyard and nodded with a smile. Although his body was not as good as it was a few years ago, his eyesight was not damaged. Seeing the MP's car stopped slowly, he faced the driver's doubtful eyes. The councillor who got off gave a long-lost hug, "Oh my friend, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's almost half a year. Are you okay?"
"This is my friend, you go back first." Paul asked the driver without changing his face, and asked when the car left. "How did you come? Haven't you been in Puerto Rico?"
"This is a long story, and I need to find a place to have a good chat." Gail made a look of embarrassment, a flash of strange color in his eyes, indicating that he abandoned his career and came to Washington, naturally there is something important. .
To be honest, in this country, who can let himself come out to do things in one sentence, except for the slave owner who welcomes him to return to his country, there is no such person. On the one hand, Sheffield welcomed her return to the country at the time, and at the same time helped to establish a firm foothold and thanked many people who fell in Brazil again.
Another point is the strong strength Sheffield himself showed. Unlike McHale ’s dissatisfaction, he always wanted to prove something. Gael looked very open. Since most people from the Civil War moved to Brazil, they stayed at the beginning. There is no such thing as catching up. Others are giant companies in the southern states.
McHale couldn't keep up with studying behind the buttocks. Why should he be so tired and find some relaxed lifestyle to lie down and make money? It can't be said that it is wrong. McHale certainly couldn't say that he was right, but he wouldn't agree with setting an unattainable goal.
For example, the industry of United Corporation has formed a closed loop of self-sufficiency, and at the same time, it has colluded with other giants like Standard Oil. There is no way in China alone. The black gold transportation company based in overseas bases is equivalent to a tumor growing in the heart of this country.
The Black Gold Transportation Company seems to be the development trajectory of the East India Company, and there are joint companies supporting it in the country. How can this compete?
Gail did n’t speak with a poker face, which made Paul ’s heart go up and down. As a member of parliament, he felt that he followed him a bit sloppy. What if someone wanted to do something against him? Those who obviously have a black background can't provoke them, and even he has repented of his long-lost hatred and prayed to God for forgiveness.
The black girl ’s desperate look has now turned into a medicine of regret and is impacting her own soul. At this time the car listened. Paul came to the land of birds and flowers. The sun setting in the setting sun shone with the afterglow. It was not dazzling but very comfortable.
Paul walked down tremblingly, and Gael could not help but chuckled, "My friend, just came to see the scenery, but you seem a little nervous?"
"Gail, if there is something, we can talk very honestly." Paul said with a stern look.
Look at this magnificent look? Gail lit a cigarette and took a sip. "It wasn't a big deal, just find a casual occasion to talk about, too formal occasions, right? This is not Puerto Rico, and I didn't prepare it for you."
With a bit of nod to each other, Gail went straight to the point, "In fact, recently, Washington has been arguing about tariffs? Right? Why are you Republicans so stubborn? In fact, considering the seats in Congress now, If it is Mr. President who wants to implement the new tariff policy, what is your solution? It is just a talk of unity on the surface. What are your qualifications to object? "
Gail's words are already somewhat polite, especially to Republican lawmakers, but this is true.
"So you are a Democrat?" After listening, Paul first felt trapped.
Gail flicked the cigarette **** and waved his finger, "Can't say that, we are serious businessmen and have the same respect for both parties, but I have a very important friend who is very concerned about the new tariff bill. So I only came to Washington this time and talked to some friends in my network. You are only the first, and there are some other gentlemen I will look for them in the next few years. To be honest, it should not be difficult for you to make friends Right? "
Looking at Gail's burning eyes, Paul coughed softly and said, "It's not difficult, as you said, in fact, the Democratic Party can pass this resolution to make everyone step down."
"Why don't you say Mr. Paul, would you become a well-respected member of Parliament?" Gael's eyes flashed lightly and said flatly, "This kind of precise judgment is surprising enough, we can Become a long-term friend, the prosperity and beach of Puerto Rico, and wait for the visit of Congressman Paul. In fact, the local prosperity is inseparable from those of you Congressmen. There is no appropriation from Congress. What locals eat, you have some special requirements, it is completely reasonable . "
