My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 711 Disaster News Repeatedly
Two days later, Xu Dong and his party took the "Lina" to Brisbane. Due to the landslides and mudslides caused by the flood, the land transportation between the two places has been interrupted until now.

After half a day of sailing, in the evening, we finally arrived at our destination.

The Brisbane government attaches great importance to this investment, not only providing passing vehicles, but also sending a deputy mayor surnamed Lin to accompany the whole process.

"Mayor Lin, please forgive me!"

"Haha, why is it troublesome? I wish you could come every day." Deputy Mayor Lin immediately suggested: "Mr. Xu, do you want to rest for a night, let's investigate tomorrow?"

"No need, I slept on the boat for a whole day, and I'm in good spirits now!" Xu Dong laughed.

Deputy Mayor Lin patted his head: "Look at my memory, I thought you came here by passenger ship."

"No way, you also know that our company is headquartered in China, and we bought yachts for the convenience of travel." Xu Dong explained casually.

"Understand, understand..."

Next, the group drove to the first candidate factory site, which is located in the northernmost part of the Morton industrial area, close to the sea, and it is very convenient to get water.

Ma Lingling introduced: "Mr. Xu, the area of ​​this land is about 7800 mu. There is no need to build another water pipeline, which can save a lot of costs."

"The terrain is too low, what if there is a flood?" Xu Dong worried.

"Mr. Xu, please rest assured that there are several artificial flood discharge channels built in the industrial area, and Brisbane is not a basin terrain. Even if there is a major flood, there will be no serious waterlogging like Sydney."

Deputy Mayor Lin quickly comforted him.

Xu Dong nodded, and then asked again: "Is there a large port nearby? The sub-base will have a large amount of cargo in the future. If there is a port, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient."

"Mr. Xu, more than 200 kilometers to the north, is Port Fraser, which is under construction. According to the design plan, it will be the largest port on the entire east coast."

Ma Lingling interrupted and replied.

"The biggest? Isn't Sydney Harbor the biggest?"

Xu Dong asked curiously.

It stands to reason that Sydney is the largest city in the Kangaroo Country, regardless of the size of the city or the population. Even if the largest port is to be built, Sydney Port should be expanded.

Deputy Mayor Lin explained with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you don't know that the sea level has dropped rapidly in recent years, and the existing port can only be used for a decade or so at most. After that, a new port needs to be rebuilt.

Port Fraser is different. Fraser Island, where it is located, is deep in the ocean and is on the edge of the continental shelf. The conditions for building a port are excellent, and its role is irreplaceable. "

"It turns out that I was taught."

"Mayor Lin, can we build a small pier by ourselves?" Ma Lingling interrupted.

"In principle, there is no problem. The city is willing to help you apply."

Deputy Mayor Lin promised on the spot.

"That's great, thank you!"

Ma Lingling said excitedly.

The cost of sea transportation is much cheaper than that of land transportation.

Xu Dong was also very satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, everyone came to the second candidate factory site, which was also located in the Morton Industrial Zone, very south. This place was originally a small island in Moreton Bay, with an area of ​​128 square kilometers.

Now the sea has changed, and the island has become a mountain.

"Look, Mr. Xu, this area was originally a residential area, so the land is relatively flat, with a total area of ​​more than 130 square kilometers. I wonder if your company is interested?"

"Is this blockbuster all?"

Xu Dong was surprised.

The land of more than 130 square kilometers is equivalent to an area of ​​20 mu, almost ten times that of Yanjing headquarters, and it is estimated that it will not be used up in decades.

"That's right." Deputy Mayor Lin nodded.

"How much?" Xu Dong was moved instantly.

Deputy Mayor Lin smiled slightly: "No money, rent is free."

"Such a big discount?"

"The discount also depends on the target. Only with such a large investment as Xu Dong, and a grain production enterprise, will you be treated like this."

Deputy Mayor Lin then changed the subject:
"Of course, the discounts are not free. In terms of employment and taxation, you must meet the standards, and you will be assessed every year, otherwise you will need to pay rent."

"What are the specific indicators?"

Deputy Mayor Lin waved his hand with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you don't need to worry about such a large investment scale. I guarantee that you will definitely meet the standard."

"Mayor Lin, then I won't play tricks with you, just settle here, we can sign a contract at any time."

Xu Dong said cleanly.

Such a large area, and there is no rent, as long as you encounter it, you will not let it go.

"Mr. Xu is really refreshing!" Deputy Mayor Lin said happily, "How about signing the contract tomorrow morning? The venue will be chosen at the hotel where you are staying, and Mayor Ji will personally attend the signing ceremony."

"No problem, it's an honor!"

Xu Dong stretched out his hand and shook the other party.

……

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

The news of floods came one after another in the country. The most iconic event was that the rivers and lakes headed by the Red Dragon River and Dahe ushered in the recovery of the whole territory after ten years of no flow.

Since last week, Aunt Li and Aunt Liao, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, will sit in front of the TV whenever they are free, and keep an eye on the disaster situation in the Yanjing area.

It's the same again today.

According to the latest news on TV, tens of millions of people have been relocated and resettled in the capital area. The situation is getting worse, and everyone's faces are full of worry.

"Miss Du, don't worry, Yanjing is not yet a hard-hit area. Besides, Uncle Li's side happens to be in the western suburbs, and the terrain is high, so there shouldn't be any danger."

Yang Lina tried to comfort her.

In comparison, the southern region is dominated by mountains and hills, with vertical and horizontal canyons. In addition, the temperature rises faster, and the disaster losses are even more severe.

"He is a policeman. If there is danger, he will go there. How can he be safe? I knew the scale of the flood was so large. Even if I was forced to die, I had to pull him here."

Aunt Li regretted.

"Uncle Li is not young. His superiors probably won't arrange for him to go to the front line. At most, he will do logistics support work. There will be no danger."

Xu Dong helped persuade.

"I hope so. If your Uncle Li leaves, how will we orphans and widows live?"

Aunt Li's voice was full of tears.

Song Lin on the side felt the same way: "Oh, our family Liang Hao went to the grassroots last week, and there is no news until now. I am really anxious."

"The domestic communication is completely cut off. It's normal not to receive messages. There is no need to be overly nervous."

Xu Dong quickly explained.

Aunt Liao expressed her gratitude again: "Mr. Xu, I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, we would still be in the western suburbs right now. I have nothing to do with you, I'm just afraid that the child will be in danger."

"If you say this, you will see yourself!"

Xu Dong said politely.

Aunt Li cried and said, "I don't know how long this flood will last?"

"According to the experience in Sydney, it is estimated that it will not exceed a month." Yang Lina affirmed.

"It should be more than that." Xu Dong shook his head, "It has been snowing in China for half a year, and the snow depth is several times that of our side. I'm afraid..."

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
