Chapter 93 Preparations
"Mr. Lu, do you really want to build a car production base here?"

The person who spoke was Lu Chen's old acquaintance, Kanya's Minister of Commerce, Adil.

Compared with a few months ago, Adil seems to be more glorious, I don't know if it has something to do with his political donations.

As Lu Chen's political backer in Kanya, Adil and Lu Chen have a good personal relationship.

Of course, a large part of this relationship is based on money.

"Mr. Lu," Adil hesitated, "Although I am very moved by your actions, as a friend, I have to remind you that it may be difficult for you to recover the cost of setting up the car factory in Kanya."

Speaking of this, Adil couldn't help lowering his voice.

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help shaking his wine glass, and said with a smile: "I know that building a factory here will indeed greatly increase our company's operating costs, but this is the result of a compromise between us and North America."

After speaking, Lu Chen talked about the agreement he had with North America, only to hear Aidil break out in cold sweat.

He did not expect that Kanya would be involved in this kind of great power competition.

I thought it was a good thing at first, but now it seems that the small boat Kannia may be destroyed inadvertently in the competition between the two countries.

This is not impossible. The gap between a small country and a big country is even bigger than the gap between a small country and a big country in ancient times.

Take Kanya, for example.

Although it has a population of nearly ten million, its strength is really not worth mentioning. It can be said that any big country can be wiped out by sending troops at will.

Not to mention the world's strongest North America and China.

What else can it gain from being involved in the technological competition between the two countries?
Thinking of this, Adil couldn't help but have a painful expression on his face.

"Aidil, you don't have to worry. The establishment of the Arc Light Automobile factory here is the result of a negotiation between the two parties, and it will not have much impact on the Kanya government."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Of course, the premise is that this production base does not receive any harassment."

Hearing this, Adil could only smile wryly and said, "Mr. Lu, don't worry, I promise it won't be harassed in any way."

He knew the background of the shareholders behind Arc Light Motors. Except for Chensheng Technology, the largest shareholder, North America, Huaguo, Europe, Sakuraguo, etc. all had shares in this company.

The Kanya government does not have the guts to attack it.

It has to be said that this is the tragedy of a weak country.

The law of the jungle is the eternal law of the world.

Finally, after negotiations between the two parties.

Arclight Motors will build a large-scale production base less than [-] kilometers away from Kanya Port. At the same time, along with the establishment of this production base, there are also railways and roads from Kanya Port to this production base. .

After all, Kanya's infrastructure is really bad.

There are no railways or highways at all.

In desperation, Lu Chen had no choice but to add these two investments.

After the road and railway were built, he and Qin Ruolan discovered that the power supply system in Kanya could not meet the industrial electricity consumption of this large production base.

So, they have to build another power station.

Considering that Kanya is not rich in coal resources, it may be unrealistic to build a thermal power station, but fortunately, Kanya is rich in uranium resources, which is very suitable for building a nuclear power station.

But in this way, a mine for mining uranium had to be built.

After careful calculation, Kanya is really poor and white.

Of course, the advantage of being poor and blank is that these industries are completely owned by Lu Chen. After he builds a city with the arc light automobile production base as the core, no one can take away the ownership of the city.

To build a city, the premise is naturally a huge piece of land.

Fortunately, Kanya lacks everything, except wasteland.

After some bargaining, Lu Chen finally rented a piece of private land with a radius of 99 square kilometers at a price of [-] million U.S. dollars. The lease term is [-] years.

To be honest, 200 square kilometers of land is not that big, but if it is built into a city, it will be enough to accommodate a population of [-] million, which is completely enough for the early stage of development.

If it is just to build a city with an area of ​​up to [-] square kilometers, it is enough to rely on the funds in Lu Chen's hands, but to turn it into a world-class metropolis, the money in his hands is far from enough.

Of course, rice is eaten in one bite, and Lu Chen doesn't have the habit of becoming a fat man by eating in one bite.

As the flight returned to Pengcheng, Lu Chen immediately summoned Qin Ruolan.

"Buy Kanya's international airport and Kanya port, build an arc car production base, a highway, a railway transportation line, and also build a nuclear power plant and a uranium mining site."

Qin Ruolan counted the projects that Lu Chen was about to start in Kanya one by one, and couldn't help but take a breath, "If we didn't have more than 700 billion US dollars in our hands now, we really wouldn't have the confidence to start so many projects at once. "

Lu Chen smiled nonchalantly: "Actually, after careful calculation, among these projects, only the Arc Light Automobile Production Base is relatively expensive. Other projects, even the nuclear power plant, only have a budget of tens of billions."

"That's it?"

Qin Ruolan didn't know what to say.

A very large nuclear power plant, falling into Lu Chen's mouth is just "just".

I have to say that when the money reaches a certain level, it is really a set of numbers.

Compared with more than 700 billion U.S. dollars, the tens of billions of Huaguo coins can only be called "just".

Qin Ruolan thought for a while: "Since we have achieved this step, the transportation must be in our own hands."

"What are you going to do?"

Lu Chen asked.

"Establish an international trading company and incorporate all shipping and air transportation into our own system."

Lu Chen frowned: "Looking at it this way, we still have to invest in large cargo ships and large cargo aircraft."

To be honest, if it wasn't for the 700 billion US dollars raised this time, with only 400 billion US dollars in the family trust fund, Lu Chen really wouldn't dare to do this.

Currently on the market, any ship that can be called a large freighter must be at least 10 tons or more, and can carry more than 1 containers.

For example, Huaguo's famous 19100 TEU container ship has a gross weight of 18 tons and can transport 19100 standard containers.

Of course, this kind of cargo ship has a large transportation volume and the price is very impressive. A 19100 TEU container ship costs as much as 1.37 million US dollars.

Since Kanya's Arc Light Automobile production base is going to cover the entire overseas market, the shipping company newly established by Lu Chen must have four or five ships, right?

Moreover, if this large cargo ship wants a new one, it may have to wait for a few years.

Lu Chen was naturally unwilling to wait for such a long time, so he could only buy ships from other shipping companies at a high price.

This is only in terms of shipping, and the same is true for air transportation. To establish a large-scale international trading company that masters transportation, in addition to spending money, it will take a certain amount of time.

In addition, there is another means, that is, acquisition.

Acquire some international transportation companies and bring them into the trading company that Lu Chen will establish soon.
